This is potentially the worst written book I have ever read. The dialogue was horribly, awfully, ridiculously stilted...no one at all, ever, has spoken like that. And the author clearly missed her 9th grade English teacher's lessons on "show, don't tell." This plot line had potential but literally I cannot imagine how it got published with writing like that. It's impossible
To see past that. Ugh. Plus, the characters were all 2D, with no depth at all. They changed how they felt each other page to page to fit whatever the author felt like...no consistency. And for a tragedy as big as this one, it is unbelievable that the author managed to write it so poorly that I never got emotional at all while reading. Waste. Of. Time.
